                        System Information and Tests

                             <English version>


ToolStar is based on years of experience in the PC diagnostics field with
consideration of many suggestions from customers. Main focus is system in-
formation. In the age of Plug and Play and Windows 95/98/NT, it is especial-
ly important how the PC is configured, which exact performance character-
istics it has and how well the single components are working together. With
this tool, you will be able to solve most of the problems fast and reliable
 at an unbeatable price/performance ratio.

Maybe you know "agSI", the shareware predecessor to ToolStar; since then, it
has evolved and been extended to the professional ToolStar, of which you now
have the demo version.


THIS IS A FEATURE-LIMITED DEMO VERSION!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  About two thirds of the way over 100 information items are disabled.
  However they are still visible in the menus, so you see which items the
  full version has to offer.
  The documentation (help file) is the same as in the full version.

  You may use this demo for evaluation purposes for 28 days, after which you
  have to either stop using it (delete it), or purchase the full version
  (see below).

  You may distribute this demo as you like - to friends, to a program
  collection (online or CD etc.) - as long as you include all of and only
  the original, unmodified files (see below), and free of charge (except
  maybe minimal copy fees).
